The protos were gotten from JerryG when he decided to
liquidate his collection a few years ago. The 'Asterix' proto was a
bare board when he aquired it and he had put it into a cartridge with
one of his labels while the 'River Raid' has a red/white typewritten
label from Activision. Given the his reputation at the time he
decided to sell all of his stock, I feel pretty confident that they
are what he claimed.

A number of years ago I aquired an
in-house/pre-release 'River
Raid' for the Atari 800. Unfortunately the cart crashes shortly after
it begins loading. I've got a couple of oddball carts for the 2600
though, including 'Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes', 'Journey
Escape' and a proto for 'Asterix'.
The protos and "Beefsteak" are definitely keepers. Or you can give them
to me for my next birthday ;)
